The Industrial Suborbital Spacesuit (IS3) The Industrial Suborbital Spacesuit (IS3): The IS3 is the first suit under development by Orbital Outfitters (OO). It is an emergency pressure suit for suborbital operations. Known in the field as a “get me down” suit - its primary function is to provide a line of protection in the event of a loss of atmospheric pressure within the vehicle. The suit is a full pressure design based on a combination of flat patterned joints and break-line joints to provide superior flexibility while maintaining cost effective sizing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The IS3 series of suits: • Provide Life support functions for 30 minutes or more at 500 K Feet • Have a mass of <20 Kg • Are available as full pressure single gas (O2) or dual gas suits • Are comfortable for the wearer • Can be integrated into a parachute harness • Grant the user visibility which is superior to existing designs • Integrate advances in cooling developed in the auto racing and film industries • Include an independent 15 minute backup pressurization/oxygen system • Have an automatic rapid activation function • Are intuitive to operate • Have an audio system which is integrated with the vehicle to provide internal and external audio capabilities as well as noise cancellation within the cockpit • Have an integrated sensor suite to record real-time biometric information about the wearer of the suit and/or the vehicle • Include a visual display of data so user status is visible to both the wearer and other crew members • Began operational testing in 2007 Mockup Space Suits: Orbital Outfitters is focused on the development and manufacture of real space hardware.
